"A sword serves its own purpose. Find what works for you." What Lorken said rang true with Yuri, as he starts rolls his neck around and then looks at Lorken as he starts comes towards him until they are only a few feet apart. Yuri then acts by slashing at Lorken, who dodges and weaves as if he was a boxer himself. As he and Yuri tangle, he pulls out his knives as makeshift brass knuckles. [color=#e3dac9]"Wow, way to be the villain using those as fist weapons."[/color], he quips before he cracks his neck. Deep in the back of his mind, he used his time for a quip to formulate a way to counter what Lorken was going to do. He knows he has him beat on speed, but he's also sure that Lorken has him beat solely because he's BIG and a more experienced fighter than him. He tries to decide if he was going to use cheap tactics or not to turn the battle to his favor, but it was too late; Lorken was already bringing the fight to him.

As Lorken did his double fist thrust at his chest, Yuri quickly sidestepped and returned with a few successful jabs to Lorken's right side before hopping back. He then sees Lorken going on the offensive, jabbing and boxing at him with the power and finesse of that of a boxer in a mafia suit. He blocks one punch and sees that it would indeed be a challenge for him to tank the blows, his feet skidding to the side before he returns his attention to the big man himself. He soon gets into a boxing position and starts dodging and weaving, blocking only when necessary. He weaves one punch and gets in a few good shots on his legs before backing up and then being hit in the face by Lorken, sending him flying before he ends up back on his feet. A small drip of blood comes out of Yuri's mouth before he wipes it off, soon rolling his arms before getting into a fighting position.

From his fight, what's more apparent to Yuri is that Lorken was not going to pull punches just because he was a student. One punch from him already had him bleeding at the mouth and left his vision a bit hazy before it finally cleared up. He has to show a resolve of some sort, right? He then spits at the ground before running towards Lorken, his blows blocked and dodged by Lorken before eventually Lorken throws a right hook--- no, it was a thrust. Yuri quickly sidestepped out of the big man's way, soon giving himself enough distance. The hulking beast of a principal begins his assault on Yuri, at random intervals alternating between swordplay and boxing. Yuri tries the best he can to dodge, weave and block, but he does end up having his shirt sliced at, a punch directly in the jugular before having a jab delivered at his face, causing him to skid across the ground and then roll a good distance away from Lorken. He coughs a bit as he gets up, blood on the ground as he soon gets back up on his feet... He's resilient more than anything.

[color=#e3dac9]Shit... he's fighting so randomly that I can't keep up. I need to figure out what I'm going to do.[/color] Yuri thinks this to himself before Lorken soon comes at him again, but this time, Yuri shortens his claws and distributing the amount of bone equally in his forearms and fists in the nick of time, soon dodging once more before attempting to deliver an uppercut.
